Hi GH,

I think even you, wise grasshopper, needs to look to your solutions journal and monitor your baby steps. You need some markers to see where you are and so that you can see the progress that is actually occuring on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Two weeks of ILY's from my H would be a dream come true to me right now. And remember, when you fall "in love" with a true love that lasts (instead of just an infatuation) it takes time. And that would have to happen all over again, just like starting from scratch. You guys have really just started on a new R. I think your thoughts about getting too comfortable are important to pay attention to. Finish DR, review your goals, and write out your baby steps. It's only been 5 months. Get in action - focus on yourself with vigor once again. Take a breath and leave your wife be for just a bit, just respond with your love when the opportunity arrises. I sense you have been focusing/working too hard on her. Do something really great for yourself today
